Scrambled Thoughts

HAPPENING NOW (FERGUSON AUGUST 10, 2015): I don’t know if there are words. A year later, the situation looks damn near identical to what transpired on the streets of W Flourissant in Aug 2014. Police antagonizing and randomly picking out protesters from the crowd (including the arrest of a 12-yr old protester), mace/tear gas used indiscriminately against peaceful protesters, media restricted or all-out assaulted… I don’t even know. What I can say is that the resistance remains alive and well. Are you still paying attention? #staywoke #farfromover

Everything I’m about to say is mostly directed toward white knee-jerk liberals who saw Black Lives Matter activists interrupt their Patron Saint of Saving The World and went off half-cocked about how BLM is fighting the wrong people and how we shouldn’t turn on our allies.

Before getting into it, let me pull your focus to the direct result of Black Lives Matter repeatedly going after him:  Bernie Sanders announced a young Black woman, Symone Sanders, as the new national press secretary for his campaign this weekend, and under her direction (where, weeks ago before she was hired, she discussed with Sanders the criticism against him as offered up by BLM), he received her suggestions and tweaked his message for his next televised appearance to include racial inequality as a direct parallel to economic equality.

In short, they’re acheiving what they set out to do.
